Question

What are the solutions to the equation 0 = x^2 – x –6? there are two options

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer is x= -2 and x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Because (x + 2)(x - 3)=0

x + 2 = 0

   - 2    -2

x = -2

and

x - 3 = 0

    + 3   +3

x = 3

Hope my answer has helped you and if not i'm sorry.

Answer 2

The answer for this problem is x=-2 or x=3.

To solve, start with the equation.

0=x^2−x−6

Subtract x^2-x-6 from both sides.

0−(x^2−x−6)=x^2−x−6−(x^2−x−6)

−x^2+x+6=0

Factor left side of equation.

(−x−2)(x−3)=0

Set factors equal to 0.

−x−2=0 or x−3=0

x=−2 or x=3
